Fluff and Feathers
Etching is an old love that Margarita brought to Australia from overseas. She learned the techniques of traditional etching from her artist friend in Russia.
This exhibition features Australian wildlife depicted in this medium of etching.
"The wildlife of Australia is a fantastic theme for any artist of any era. I love all these unusual animals & birds, which cannot be found elsewhere in the world, but only in Australia. "
"After many years of living here, I still think that I am living in paradise and I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to depict them. "
Margarita works in the old and charming techniques of etching, aquatint and chine-collé. These techniques allow the artist to create a limited edition of handmade prints, which makes the artworks more affordable for the general public and art collectors.
